How It Works…

Millions of photos are purchased daily. They are used for advertising, books, magazines, newspapers, posters, and personal use--both on the Internet and in print media. Millions of dollars are spent daily to purchase and publish those pictures.

FACT: The photos can be divided into two categories: 1.) Generic pictures that can be found easily through “stock photo agencies;” 2.) specific-content pictures that need to match a specific use or text.

Photobuyers and researchers know that finding photos for this second category is a difficult task.

Until now. Internet search engines and a growing number of photo sites have turned this around. Photo editors and researchers now can type a three or four word description into Google etc. and find the “source” of the highly specific pictures.

This new method of finding stock photos
saves editors a terrific amount of time (and money), and gives independent photographers access to thousands of active markets.

PHOTOSOURCE BOOK 2008– THE PHOTOGRAPHER DIRECTORY THAT MAKES THE MATCH FOR PHOTOBUYERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS.

In its 7th year of publication, PhotoSourceBOOK and its electronic partner, PhotoSourceBANK, is the oldest and most comprehensive resource for specific-content photos that takes advantage of today’s technology.

For photographers only: (P.S. – if you have a digital camera, you are a photographer)

1.) SIGN UP for the PhotoSourceBOOK 2008 directory and benefit from photobuyers coming TO YOU.

2.) Enter your initial 600 photo descriptive words (by Nov. 15th) for the printed directory, that goes out January 1st to 3,000 active top-paying editors.

3.) During the fall of 2007 enter your remaining quota of 2,400 descriptive words and phrases (3,000 words total) on to the electronic PhotoSourceBANK, partner to PhotoSourceBOOK. (A 3 or 4-word phrase counts as one entry.) (Easy Q&A at www.photosourcebook.com ). The deadline for the electronic entries is December 31st.

4.) At this moment, a photobuyer, editor, researcher, is looking for a specific picture that is in your file, and is ready to pay $75, $150, $400 and more for that image. If you have followed the directions at www.photosourcebook.com, you are on your way to selling photos from your database that you never knew were worth $$$’s. (Pay special attention to numbers 4, 5, 6 of the step-by-step instructions.)
